    摘要: Semiconductor chip structures are provided with embedded thermal conductors for removing heat from one or more electrically conductive circuit members thereof, wherein the circuit members are formed on one or more dielectric layers above a substrate, each layer having a low dielectric constant and a low thermal conductivity. One or more cooling posts, for example, multiple thermally conductive plugs, are selectively disposed within the semiconductor chip structure adjacent to one or more electrically conductive members and thermally coupled thereto so that heat produced by the members is transferred into and through the cooling posts for forwarding to the substrate and/or to an upper surface of the semiconductor chip structure. The backside of the substrate has a thermal sink thermally coupled thereto and electrically isolated from the substrate. The thermal sink includes one or more thermally conductive via structures embedded within the substrate and aligned to thermally contact to the cooling posts disposed above the substrate.

    摘要: An array of radiation sensors or detectors is integrated within a three-dimensional semiconductor IC. The sensor array is located relatively close to the device layer of a circuit (e.g., a microprocessor) to be protected from the adverse effects of the ionizing radiation particles. As such, the location where the radiation particles intersect the device layer can be calculated with coarse precision (e.g., to within 10 s of microns).

    摘要: The present invention provides a micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) temperature sensor that employs a suspended spiral comprising a material with a positive coefficient of thermal expansion. The thermal expansion of the suspended spiral is guided to by a set of guideposts to provide a linear movement of the free end of the suspended spiral, which is converted to an electrical signal by a set of conductive rotor azimuthal fins that are interdigitated with a set of conductive stator azimuthal fins by measuring the amount of capacitive coupling therebetween. Real time temperature may thus be measured through the in-situ measurement of the capacitive coupling. Optionally, the MEMS temperature sensor may have a ratchet and a pawl to enable ex-situ measurement.

    摘要: Disclosed is a wiring structure and method of forming the structure with a conductive diffusion barrier layer having a thick upper portion and thin lower portion. The thicker upper portion is located at the junction between the wiring structure and the adjacent dielectric materials. The thicker upper portion: (1) minimizes metal ion diffusion and, thereby TDDB; (2) allows a wire width to dielectric space width ratio that is optimal for low TDDB to be achieved at the top of the wiring structure; and (3) provides a greater surface area for via landing. The thinner lower portion: (1) allows a different wire width to dielectric space width ratio to be maintained in the rest of the wiring structure in order to balance other competing factors; (2) allows a larger cross-section of wire to reduce current density and, thereby reduce EM; and (3) avoids an increase in wiring structure resistivity.
